Chapter Two// Charlotte Grayson

  I have been working for 5 hours and only gotten 7 customers. It was only me working this shift till 11:30.

4 more hours to go! At least I'm inside with loads of frozen yogurt. I'm a lucky ass bitch.

  Lola and I have been texted since I got to work and we decided to go to Barbados for a week with our parents tagging along. Since my fathers birthday is on Christmas Day, the whole family can come.

Since I have nothing better to do, I told Lola I'll look up the hotel and she can just search for plane tickets. Yeah I know, why the hell are you planning a trip that is going to happen in less than 3 weeks. Well.. school has been kicking me in the back of my butt.

Grabbing my secret laptop from under the counter, I turned it on and clicked on google chrome.
Christmas music was playing in the background and I had a cup of coffee with me.

"This is going to be a long night." I mutter, beginning my search.

✷✷✷

  By the time it hit 10:30 a whole bunch of teens came in. About 10-15 I'm guessing. I was still on my laptop when they all rushed in and went straight for the frozen yogurt. "Hello welcome to Heaven Yogurt!" I said happily because being happy is my job.

  The teens quickly said hello and I went back to researching. I came across The Crane earlier and it keeps popping back up in my head.

It has its multiple little apartments, some even have pools in the backyard. It was super duper nice and it wasn't even that expensive!

"Uh excuse me? Can we like uh pay?" A blonde haired girl says snobby-like as she looked down at me. I cleared my voice as I stand up towering over her.

"Separate or all together?" I smile sweetly at her as a guy steps in front of her. They looked about my age, maybe juniors or seniors, but they did not go to my school. Probably our rival school, Woody Austin High School.

The guys was taller than me and looked like the snobby bitch's brother.

"All together." He brushed back his hair with his fingers trying to give me a sly smirk. Puking mentally in my head, I nod as they all put their cups onto the scaler.

"$31.26 is your total, what color spoons would you all like? Pink, purple, red, or green?" I look around as they all say their color at once.

The sly smirk guy paid with his debt card and he stated, "Just give us green. I mean that's our school color." He winks at me and I look at his snobby-like sister. She rolls her eyes at him and I take his debt card.

"Thank you," I said handing back his debt card after I slide it and gave all of them green spoons.

Going back into my research, I booked The Crane resort and did a little happy dance. Woody Austin's students looked at me weirdly as I stopped dancing.
I'll surprise Lola later and call her tomorrow before I work.

I shut my computer off and put it in my computer back under the counter. I watched my rivals eat their pathetic frozen yogurt, laughing and teasing. Fall football season is over, but spring football is coming soon and we are going to crush them again.

30 minutes has passed and they are still here. I groan and look at the time on my phone.
It was 11 and I really want to leave early.

Walking toward the crowded tables I cleared my throat. "It's time for you guys to leave. I need to close the shop so please throw away your trash and scoot on out of here."

They all look at me," Now!" And the all scurry away throwing away their trash leaving the store.

"Good, I don't have to clean." I went back behind the counter and grabbed my things and the keys to this place.

Turning off all the lights, I went out the front door, locking up. Humming the Christmas song, Jingle Bells, I unlocked my car and slipped in.

"Holly jolly, fuck I need gas." I whine, starting up my car and headed to the closet gas station.

The only thing I hate the most of having a car is filling up the gas when it's 52° and dark! Stupid bipolar Texas  weather. One day it's nice and hot then the next it's freaking 32°.
That's why I just need tropical weather and the beach with Pina Coladas (non- alcoholic).

Pulling into the gas station I looked around and saw a nice sleek black Mercedes.

Literally dying on the inside because the car is so beautiful! Taking the spot right next to the car, I put it in park turning the car off.
I grabbed my sweatshirt from my passenger seat and slipped it on. Taking my sweet time out of the car I went over and grabbed the gas pump.

"God I'm going to be sick tomorrow," I muttered under my breath, tapping my foot quickly on the ground.

Hopefully by the time I get home everyone would be asleep so I don't have to talk to family about my day. All I want to do is take a nice hot shower and sleep.

Also not go to work.

The gas pumped and my total came out to be $15.07. Gas in Texas is a blessing. I paid with my $20 and took the pump from my car putting it back in its original place.

A few seconds after I received my change there was a slight noise toward my right side. I looked over but nothing was there. Shrugging off the weird feeling, I took the rest of my change and walked back over to the drivers side. My hands were on the door handle until there was a sudden breath on the back of my neck. The hairs stood up as the breath deepen.

I felt the presence move closer to me as a deep voice whispers, "Smells like sweet candy canes with chocolate," a male voice says. Oh god!

Oh god!

I don't want to be raped today! Oh sweet baby Jesus, please no. I just used my mothers credit card to go to Barbados !

"Your heart is racing. I'm not going to do anything, Gattino." His accent was deep, I couldn't register what it was but it was not a Hispanic accent. I would know since my mother is Hispanic. The male behind me quickly grabbed my hair tightly, but surprisingly it didn't hurt. It felt... good?

"Mine."

After that the presence was gone and so was the car.

✷✷✷
